Abstract (en)

A high-speed scanning method uses K(K >/= 3) semiconductor switch elements (101,102,103,104) each having one main electrode responsive to an input signal (Vin), another main electrode, and a control electrode responsive to a control signal (o1,o2,o3,o4) for controlling the transmissive and intransmissive states of said input signal from said one main electrode to said other main electrode. Capacitive loads (201,202,203, 204) are connected to the other main electrode of each of the semiconductor switch elements (101,102,103,104), for shifting one of said K-number of semiconductor switch elements (101,102,103,104) sequentially with a predetermined period from said transmissive state to said intransmissive state or vice versa. An arbitrary number L(K > L >/= 2) of semiconductor switch elements (101,102,103,104) of adjacent scans are rendered transmissive, and the period, for which said L-number of semiconductor switch elements (101,102,103,104) are rendered intransmissive, are included in at least one period, to elongate the period for which the scanning signals fluctuate, thereby using low-frequency semiconductor switches. Also disclosed is a high-speed scanning circuit which carries out this scanning method.
